ATOMIC SUNFLOWER - DEEP SPACE BLUE

 

I started my formal Art School education at Portsmouth College of Art on a Foundation course in Fine Art, 1990-1991.  I then went on to study Fine Art Printmaking at Winchester School of Art, 1991-94.  I am currently studying a practice led Fine Art PhD at Aberystwyth University in Wales, 2019 - 2026.  I am a UK Artist nominee for the prestigious Queen Sonja Print Award in 2022 & 2026.. My studio practice moves between Spike Print Studios in the city of Bristol and the School of Art in Aberystwyth, Wales.  I am an elected  ARE member of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers, Bankside Gallery, London where I exhibit regularly.
